The prothorax, in outline, resembles that of I. Haroldiana, 
Reitt., but has the hind angles distinctly sharper ; it is devoid of 
the discal depression, and its puncturation is evidently less close. 
The shape of the prothorax distinguishes this species from 
M. Grouvelliana. From MW. Lindensis it differs by its prothorax, 
evidently more transverse and (together with the head) consider- 
ably more strongly punctulate. 
N.S. Wales ; near Sydney. 
M. Haroldiana, Reitt. The habitat of this species is given as 
“ Australia ;” I have taken an insect which agrees well with 
the description in various localities in 8. Australia; under 
bark of Zucalyptus.

C. gibbipennis, sp. nov. Sat elongatus, postice angustatus ;. 
minus convexus ; ferrugineus, elytris circa scutellum et in 
apice infuscatis; pube fulva minus crebre vestitus ; pro- 
thorace vix transverso, subfortiter sat sparsim punctulato, 
ante scutellum gibbo, lateribus fere rectis leviter sinuatis, 
angulis omnibus acutis; elytris juxta scutellum utrinque 
gibbis, ut prothorax punctulatis ; tarsorum articulo primo sat 
brevi; abdomine plus minusve infuscato. Long, 1 1 
lat:, 2 1. (vix). 
A ferruginous red species with the region of the scutellum and 
the apices of the elytra infuscate, or almost black. The gibbosity 
on the base of the prothorax seems to be outlined (except on the 
actual base, which it touches) by a feeble sulcus; the two gibbosi- 
ties (placed one on either side of the scutellum) on the elytra are 
more conspicuous than that on the base of the prothorax. The 
antenne laid back slightly surpass the base of the prothorax ; 
their joints 3-8 are of about equal thickness and length (except 
that 3 is slightly longer than the others), 1 and 2 are much 
thicker but scarcely longer than 3, 9 and 10 strongly transverse 
and scarcely different inter se, 11 a little longer and scarcely 
transverse.
